That school is actually a different one - a few miles from this new one. It opened last year and cost a mere $232 million, but that’s cause it’s only for high schoolers, not K-12. Its name is “Central Los Angeles Area High School #9.”
Yes, I realize it's a different school. It's the one in the picture that Drudge has on his site. In that sense, Drudge's posting is misleading.
But it's illustrative of the thinking of the LA school district.
